Tyddyn Castle Mound is a motte of probable Norman date located in Flintshire, Wales. The earthwork consists of a substantial raised mound characteristic of early medieval fortifications, constructed to command the local landscape and serve defensive purposes. Such mottes typically date from the eleventh to thirteenth centuries and often formed the nucleus of larger castle complexes, though in this case the associated bailey and other structures remain archaeologically undocumented or have not survived. The monument is recorded under Cadw's Scheduled Ancient Monuments register as FL126, indicating its protection as a site of national importance.
